A right-wing Australian politician has protested that nude snaps published (NSFW) in Oz's Sunday Telegraph are not her in a state of advanced undress as captured by a former boyfriend back in the mid-1970s.

Re: NSFW?

See, maybe it's because I have a strong stomach for visual atrocities, but I've never looked at any picture of any healthyish naked person regardless of gender, relative attractiveness or size and felt *nauseous*. How does that work? I think there is some fibbing going on. Either that or you are all tremendous blouses or tragic souls who should probably investigate the source of that Pavlovian "non-perfect naked people *ewww*" response in therapy.

(Yes, I know she's a big old fascist, but aesthetically she looks no worse in those pics than, say, Rumer Willis. Does she?)

OMG...

how is it possible for someone to be as much of a minger *40* years ago s they are now...even Anne Widdecombe looks better at that age. *regurgitates his meat pie floater* The worst thing is I have a recent chance of bumbing into her...thats worse than tubgirl.

Leaked by the Aus govt...

I'd hit it

'aesthetically she looks no worse in those pics than, say, Rumer Willis. Does she?'

I have no idea who that is but have already reached my quota for unattractive naked people for the day so can't bring myself to google him/her/it...

My comment was mostly tongue in cheek (oo-er) as although my girlfriend is a goddess (I kid you not) I am hardly the most perfect physical specimen myself. You should all be thankful there are no naked pics of me on t'interwebs. Just on DVD... 'Flabby, tip-ex white sys-admins gone wild!'

It could all have been photo-shopped.

Why is this an issue?

Could someone please explain to me why this is an issue? It seems that whenever pictures or a video is released of someone having sex, society in general says "Oh my, what a tramp! Let's ruin his/her career/life!" Why? You didn't think the person was celibate, did you? So if you already thought the person was sexually active, then why do photos or a video affirming your assumption cause any reaction at all, expecially a negative one?

Similarly, and more to the point of this article, why does a person posing nude thirty years ago have any bearing on their career/life today? Even if posing nude is taboo to you, you have to admit that people change, and people can change quite a bit in thirty years. Add to that the fact that young people often do things without thinking of the consequences, and you're likely to find things that would be out-of-character with who they are when they're thirty years older.
